I'm not flying with a laptop, but I'd love to be able to use my iPhone 3G, and I still haven't found a way to do it. I bought the boxwave kit last year, and my phone detected a power source, but wouldn't let me charge-- some "non-compatible" message. I'm not too price sensitive here, but very size-sensitive, so I'd rather not have a major kit to haul around Europe with me. Does anyone have a product they like that works specifically with both Empower and an iPhone 3G? I'd be happy with just a plug that fits on the end of my normal iPhone charger or a cord that goes directly from my iPhone into the empower port. Thanks a lot,

fwiw, i use monster's iairplay (thanks to a recommendation by
ScottC ^) on my 5th generation ipod and it is the same connector for the iphone and ipod touch. it did charge goalie-mom's new ipod touch via the car's cigarette lighter (built in adapter with iairplay) so it should work onthe iphone as iirc, it's the same jack
see
my post here and the few post following. iirc, it is now discontinued but you can still find it (and n.b., the connector is a bit "fat" so i did have to trim the opening on my ipod's plastic case with an x-acto knife to make it fit tho it does fit perfectly without the case)
